About this experience
In Sintra you want time to stop!
The Portuguese village that Lord Byron describes as a "Glorioso Eden" maybe because of the vegetation surrounding it, the moose-covered stones or the vigorous treadmills surrounding the trees.
World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is a place of great cultural and historical wealth, with monuments dating back to various eras and architectural styles.
We highlight the Palacio da Pena, whose eccentric architecture and location on the top of the Serra de Sintra provide stunning views over the region.
Another highlight is the Quinta da Regaleira, a true maze of esoteric symbolism, where architecture and nature merge in a unique way.
The day ends with a visit to the charming village of Cascais, one of the most sought after destinations on the Portuguese coast. Cascais is known for its narrow and picturesque streets, inviting beaches and its rich history as an ancient fishing village.
